Portlaoise / Ballymaken (Bus), 04-09-2017

The Electic Picnic festival finishes on the Sunday night, and the exodus starts late on that night and through Monday. Again two locations, the station and the N80 at Ballymaken; the weather was less co-operative, with quite low light and rain showers.

Inevitably there are duplicates from Friday, but it was still worth going out.

Another coach load arrive at the station, and start queuing for train tickets. I found it rather strange that very few seemed to have bought return tickets, and were (apparently) buying tickets for their honmeward journey. Given this is the Ryanair generation, well coached in booking ahead to get the best deal, this behaviour seems odd. I can accept that some may have lost their tickets, but this many?!
